My buddy Rick of "The Feathered Shaft" sponsor here sent me a text message on a deal he said I should not pass up and it sounded really loud in the background so one of the best shows around is going strong already. Wish I could have went this year too :( . For all of you that go take some pictures for us. Flint

Just got home I've gone to several expos, this was by far the busiest Friday I have seen. Lots of stuff lots of fun, ordered myself a Northern Mist Baraga.

I was also there this evening.Staying overnight,attending the Expo again tomorrow, and then heading back south.Last year was my first year at the Expo.There seems to be more vendors and more Friday night traffic this year than last.Lots of nice things for sale and lots of friendly people.

Someday...

Living in the boondocks has some disadvantages!

I really wanted to go this year just couldn't swing it. Can't wait to see the pics.

One of the busier Friday nights I have seen at Kalamazoo. Picked up a new Shrew Classic Hunter. No camara here to post a pic but she is beautiful! 56" 54# @ 28" Take down. Crazy Bubinga veneer, carbon, foam cores, mystery ???. Gregg has done it again on this one. I'm a very blessed and happy camper.

I was busy this year for sure. Looks like the word has gotten out about Friday night being easier to shoot bows and get around the place.

I shot your bow before 5:00. If it was 5# less it would be mine. :D Very sharp and the joint line in the grip is so fine I didn't even see it until I asked Gregg about it. I shot the ghost also a couple times. Too plain for me. All the 56" RH CH's are gone now.

David Mitchell · January 28, 2011, 10:31:00 PM

I have a buddy there--he said the line to shoot a bow was 10 minutes wait on both ranges, very unusual for Friday night. Maybe everybody had the same idea--go Friday night if you want to try bows. He said it was really great.

Hope you guys are taking pictures for the rest of us!

Pleeze!

It was a great night we were busier than normal for a Friday, and the weather was great no snow Looking forward to the mayhem Saturday

Pulling into the Fairgrounds @ 4:40pm.

Steve "Jacobsladder" one of the powerhouse's behind the St Judes Michigan Bunnie Stomp, Mitch "Gator" and Steve's son Jacob.

Steve O and Young O, what a great pair.

Did you say Widow? They had em!

Did you say Predator? They had em!

Bows, Bows and more Bows

I managed to make it out with my wallet somewhat intact. Shot a Brian Wessel Tall Tines longbow that was way too sweet. The more I think about it I'll probably loose that battle and have to give him a call. What a great way to beat the winter blues, seeing old friends and making new ones.

Thanks for sharing those photos!

LimbLover · January 28, 2011, 11:43:00 PM

Last year was my first year at the Expo and I vowed that I would never go on a Saturday again due to the traffic.

There were A LOT more people tonight than I expected but it was a great experience. People at the ranges were very considerate this year. I was actually able to shoot several bows, including one of Chad Holm's 62" Osprey longbows which TOTALLY floored me. AMAZING. I WILL own one of those in the future.

Picked up a dozen Ash shafts and a dozen Fir shafts from Allegheny - great guys, great coversation, great prices!

Picked up a nice olive-drab wool sweater for $8.00.

All and all, it couldn't have been a better way to start the weekend!!!!

Oliverstacy · January 29, 2011, 12:41:00 AM

It was busy! By far the most I've seen on a Friday.

I got to see a lot of people and meet a few new ones...can't wait to get back in the morning.

It's snowing hard just north of Grand Rapids, be safe driving!

Oh I almost forgot...I picked up a small spool of D-97, I'd call the color "Rust". Going to make some great looking strings with this color...my Cocobolo Kota is getting a new string when I get back!

I just love odd ball colors!

It would be great to go, it's only a 2264 miles.
